One of the walls in the English Walled Garden is a ten foot hedge. It's one wall of a section that has brick walls on its other sides. The dark hedge makes a lovely background for small fruit trees and mounds of blooming shrubs and perennials like bee balm and day lilies.

This was my second painting of the morning on Sunday when I was at the Botanic Gardens with my Sunday morning painting buddies. We paint so differently, it's always a kick to see how we handle the same subject matter.
